Now, to my card that almost wasn't. I must have made and re-made it 3-4 times because I just couldn't get happy with my design. It started out CAS, then it wasn't, then it was...on and on. So, here is what I ended up with after wasting a lot of paper. I guess it was just one of those times...you know what I mean. Right?
The challenge this week at FOSTV (Friends of Speedy TV challenge 11) at Home of Speedy TV is to make a friend card. I'm using two stamp sets from Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Company-Winter Crocus and Dogwood Blossoms (sentiment). I stamped my image twice, colored, cut out and popped on the crocus blooms giving a 3D effect. My little buttons are from Jo Ann Stores and the punch is Martha Stewart woodland branch edge/bird and branch corner punch around the page. The dp is Paper Pizazz purple plaid.
This week's challenge at Simon Says Stamp & Show is Anything Goes. That kind of challenge is super and easy...the kind I like.
A new challenge for me and it looks like a fun one, ABC DT Challenge Blog...they have a 'Springtime' theme this week so I'm joining in.

I loooove crocuses and these are fabulous. Great use of the punch to make the frame.
I've been there many times with redos on my card! Your finished card turned out beautiful! Love the purple crocus blooms! I have purple irises blooming in my backyard right now.
I just saw some pretty crocus in full bloom this morning when I was out and about and you card captured the beautiful colors of early spring! I love the framework and darling little buttons too!
This is beautiful! I completely know what you mean about cards that almost don't make it!
If the crocus are out, it's spring! :-D Love this one, Benzi, especially the vine and bird border around the image. Magnificent!
Wow, gorgeous flowers and I love the branch frame!!
Brenda,

Very pretty card!!!
I had the same problem with a card I was working on Sunday. Yours turned out much better. I ended up cutting mine up after 3 tries with no success. That's cut up 3 cards! Your crocuses (croci)are so pretty as well as that beautiful punched frame.
Ooohhh... what a sweet card! I love the frame and the pretty image. Lovely color choices! Thanks so much for joining us for the ABC DT challenge!
I've had times like that, where the card just won't come together as you like. However, this is really pretty, Benzi, with that fab border punching and the bee-autiful crocuses!
Beautiful Spring card!! Thanks so much for playing along with us at ABC DT Challenge this month!!
